Trapping doesn't discriminate between yotes and dogs...or raccoons or other animals. I know because I did some trapping for spending money as a kid. Got 25 bucks for a racoon ( I didn't skin them out myself or I'd have gotten 50 bucks). But I also got dogs in my traps....and squirrels, and a crow...and vultures... and cats. Never got a fox or a bobcat. Where I grew up, feral dogs were a real problem....when I was squirrel hunting if I saw a pack of dogs, I would try to kill one.

I've never hunted coyote but if they were a problem on a farm I wouldn't mind seeing what I could do with my new Saiga 223. I went on a search for a mini 14 and found the cheapest one for around 500 used...well for that price I kept looking and ran across a lot of good reviews on the Saiga...
I haven't gotten it yet but it should be arriving soon.
That foam ball thing seems a little extreme unless your losing chickens nightly...otherwise I would hunt them more traditionally...stalking or with a call.

In the interest of sportsman's ethics I strongly encourage you to rethink your "advice" given so publicly.
